Gen. 1:27, 28: “God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. Further, God blessed them and God said to them: ‘Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.’” (Thus God indicated his purpose to have the earth filled with the offspring of Adam and Eve as caretakers of a global paradise. After God had magnificently designed this earth for human habitation, making it unique among all the planets that man has examined with his telescopes and spaceships, did the Creator simply abandon his purpose, leaving it forever unfulfilled because of Adam’s sin?)
Ps. 37:29: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.”
See also Ecclesiastes 1:4; Psalm 104:5.

no Jehovah did not change his mind. I love the one person who said our God, there is only one God and his name is Jehovah, not Jesus Christ the son

God created a perfect world in the beginning...the original sin of Adam and Eve caused the world to change...we now live in a sinful, corrupt world until the return of Jesus. After the final judgement, God will set up a new heaven and a new earth.
2 Peter 3:13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Revelation 21:11
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
Isaiah 65:17
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Isaiah 66:22
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

Absolutely not. God's original purpose for mankind was that they live eternally, in perfection, and in paradise surroundings that would encompass the entire earth. Nowhere does the book of Genesis indicate that God's plan was to put man on earth for a short time and then take all of them to heaven. If Adam and Even hadn't sinned, we would all, right now, be living the kind of lives that God intended for us to live. But God's purpose doesn't change and it hasn't changed, despite the rebellion by Adam and Eve. God will see to it in our very near future that this earth is wiped clean of all earthly governments, false religion, and all Satanic influence that has plagued mankind for centuries. Those that he deems faithful and obedient will make it through the coming "great tribulation" and have a share in transforming this planet into a global paradise, to be enjoyed eternally.

no it has not changed. He still loves us and wants the best for us there for his plan for mankind to live on a paradise earth is still there. Rev 21:4 talks about what is going to happen in the near future and how his plan still on his mind and on route. I still have hope and although our parents made a mistake and disobeys jehova he has not forgotten us.

hello, Jehovah's original purpose will never change. He wants a perfect earth with perfect God fearing worshippers on it.

The original purpose of Creation remains unchanged...to think otherwise would dispel the perfection in it all.
You can pull out of context any lines from Bible texts...makes no difference...the circle of life is, was, and always will be. "Sin", by the way, is a human/Earthly concept...the other side of the duality good/bad, which makes things easy to understand here.
In truth, you are correct in thinking that this place, this Earth realm, is quite unique...it is one of the most dense & negative in all of Creation...we are considered great warriors of sorts to have chosen such for a lifetime...it is very much an opposite of our Home place...the experiences & wisdoms gained during a journey here are intense...the opportunities of harvesting from such is nearly limitless...this is, was, & always will be it's purpose.
All the lines, including your last cites, that regard "possession" or concepts of taking over/reigning supreme are references to the human need to control & over power that which they can...these were written through that perspective. When we have come to the point when we realize the unimportance & lack of positivity of this notion, it will be then that we truly become "righteous"...however, all will continue to flow in process, nonetheless.
Also, by the way, the Adam & Eve story was quite twisted...it was added in to introduce "the devil" (fear--the most effective of all control methods)...read with many grains of salt. LOL
Good Journey!!!

Does anyone know the purpose for existence? Sometimes it's meaningless to try and understand life. You could say we're as real as God.

Your God does'nt know astronomy. The earth won't be here "forever". In a few billion years our sun will become a red giant. This will fry everything as far out as Mars, and maybe beyond that. Next step could be a super nova, and them BOOM, our sun will explode ! Guess what happens with no sun ? Our galaxy is history.
